Hi Jordan,

The FLOW command would seem to be the tool to use.

The length of the "helix" should match the length of the base curve, equal in length to the tube...

It will be interesting to see how the tube deforms, versus how it deforms in the physical world.

Flow is used in the Chain script.

If it's just for image/animation and curve has reasonnable angles maybe Transform/ Array a module along a Curve is sufficient ? (Instantaneous)




Just doodling with free filters :)

This...

modeled a helix with tangent ends to centerline.
flowed curve to curve to generate helix curve path.
unwrapped new helix curve.
modeled solid to fit length.
flowed.

(Note: Will remove 3dm model soon. File size is big and need storage)

You guys are awesome! Thank you all for jumping in to help answer this question. BurrMan the video explained it perfectly - I appreciate you taking the time to record that!

Damn that was easy too... wow!
